asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Color in console

Hey all.  I have a color-capable console (color ls works, and I can run 
any color-smart program like naim and bitchX), but for some reason the 
color in the console for asterisk, whether started with -c or 
safe_asterisk, isn't working for me.

Any ideas as to why?

I don't think it's my termcap, although I could post that if y'all
really
wanted it.

Asterisk was built, and is used:

check your TERM variable. I've seen apps just not like certain term
values.

I don't have naim or bitchX here, but I suspect that they use terminfo,
rather than the legacy termcap system.  If I'm right about those two
applications then you can't the results with what you see from Asterisk.

I always switch colour support off anyway, using the "-n" switch, if
I need to start Asterisk manually to test something.  I generally
connect to a running Asterisk in remote mode, and don't get colours in
that mode.  If it's a bug then it's not one that bothers me in the
slightest. :-)
